101 in 1,001 Update

Happy Monday! It's been a long while since I've shared an update of my 101 in 1,001 list. For those who are new to this concept, it's a list of 101 things you want to accomplish in 1,001 days - a goal set created my Mackenzie Horan. This is the second one I've created (the first one was a flop that I never committed to), and I've been trying to be more conscious about these goals!

Before I get down to the items I've crossed off of this list, I revisited my very first 101 in 1,001, which I let drop off and never pursued. But one item was on there that I didn't put on this list and it was this: 17. Start and own a boutique.I created that list in 2013, fresh out of college, but even then, it was something I wanted to do. 4 and a half years later, it's crazy to me that it is truly a dream come true and a goal that has come to fruition!

Here are a few things that have been crossed off the list as of late!

20. Get married - We said "I do" on August 5th, 2017! Can't wait to share more details on the blog.

40. Reach 20k followers on Instagram- Instagram is an interesting beast sometimes, so there are days I'm surprised that I surpassed 20 thousand followers as engagement can be hit or miss. But I am certainly glad that I have.

73. Go back to Charleston, but this time with Stephen - We went to Charleston this past June to celebrate the wedding of my friend Shelby of Pretty in the Pines!77. Travel to a new country - In August, we headed to St. Lucia for our honeymoon. It was a week of fun in the sun that you can read about here.

Another one of those "made my own versions" - but we made this baked cajun chicken - so good, but go easy on the cayenne (I made up my own measurements...)

99. Try 10 new restaurants in Wilmington - something I learned about this one? We rarely try new restaurants! I feel like there are a few I've missed in the last year and a half, but we are the worst about always going to our "tried and true" choices.

- Fork & Cork - April 2016

- Beer Barrio - April 2016

- Clean Eatz - June 2016

- Dixie Grill - August 2016

- Johnny Luke's - September 2016

- Pembroke's - November 2016

- Pinpoint Restaurant - December 2016

- Halligan's Pub - December 2016

- Blackfin - Summer 2017

A couple that are in progress:

79. Go to 3 concerts

Avett Brothers -- Azalea Festival (April 2016)

Tim McGraw & Faith Hill - October 2017 - this concert was so good! My best friend Emma and I took a trip to Greensboro to see them and they were incredible!

89. Read at least 40 new books - I love to read but find that I read so much more during the summer than the rest of the year due to going to the beach and sitting by the pool. Here are a few recent reads:

The Magnolia Story

Me Before You

The One and Only

Lies and Other Acts of Love

Silver Girls

The Rumor

Everyone Worth Knowing

Pink Lies

Here's to Us

Beautiful Day

There are quite a few things to cross off the list but I have just a little under a year left to work through them! I'd love to know what's on your 101 in 1,001 list!
